Survey Technology

Leading-Edge Technology
for Precision Results

We utilize a wide range of equipment, both hardware and software, and continuously find new technologies to improve our efficiency. Our focus is to make our systems easier for personnel to use, enhance data accuracy, and deliver more valuable and practical results to our clients.

Our Equipment


From precision positioning systems to sub-bottom profilers, our equipment suite covers every dimension of marine survey operations.

Positioning & Navigation Systems

We provide positioning and navigation solutions for the vessel, jack-up rig moves, and survey operations. By integrating advanced GNSS technology with inertial sensors and motion reference data, our system delivers high-precision, real-time positioning for both offshore assets and associated survey sensors.

Our equipment effectively compensates for vessel motion and environmental variables, ensuring tracking of survey lines and pinpoint accuracy for object detection. We employ a range of proven, standardized equipment based on GNSS positioning combined with real time and post processed kinematic system, ensuring high accuracy and compliance with international survey standards.

Side Scan Sonar (SSS)

Elevate your subsea operations with our high-performance Side Scan Sonar solution, delivering crisp, high-resolution seabed imagery for accurate detection and classification of underwater objects. By leveraging advanced acoustic technology, it provides an extended range, enabling efficient coverage of large survey areas.

The SSS System includes a stainless-steel tow-fish and a topside processor, available in both portable and rack-mounted configurations. One of its standout features is the optional Multi-Pulse (MP) technology, which enables the system to send out two sonar pulses instead of one. This improves both image resolution and coverage speed. It can operate on High-Definition Mode (HDM) for detailed imaging and High-Speed Mode (HSM) for faster surveys.

Multi-beam Echo Sounder (MBES)

Our MBES equipment for debris survey that integrates real-time 2D and 3D seabed imaging, enabling accurate detection, identification, and assessment of underwater objects in a single pass. Utilizing advanced signal processing capable of handling multiple simultaneous backscatter returns, the system delivers high-resolution imagery with precise spatial positioning.

With ultra-wide swath coverage, it efficiently surveys large areas while clearly visualizing features. This reduces interpretation uncertainty and enhances decision-making in the field.

Sub- Bottom Profile (SBP) System

Our geophysical site surveys utilize Sparker and Streamer systems—a proven, high-energy, and high-resolution method for sub-bottom profiling. This equipment is specifically engineered to penetrate deep into the sub-seabed, delivering clear and detailed imagery of underlying geological structures. By capturing high-fidelity acoustic returns, our systems enable precise interpretation of sediment layers, strata depth, and potential geohazards, ensuring a solid foundation for your offshore projects.

Sound Velocity Profiler (SVP)

The SVP equipment is a critical support system for survey, designed for precise marine data collection across various environments. Combining conductivity, temperature, pressure, depth, and sound velocity sensors in one unit, it enables synchronized, high-resolution data acquisition for applications such as subsea profiling, oceanographic research, and hydrographic surveys.

Single beam Echo Sounder (SBES)

A reliable solution for survey, providing accurate point-based depth measurements to detect seabed and verify the position of underwater objects along survey lines. The equipment delivers continuous, tide compensation, and dependable depth data, making it ideal for target verification when used alongside other survey methods.

USBL Tracking and Positioning System

Our USBL and positioning system provides precise, real-time tracking even in underwater environments. It is well-suited for a wide range of subsea operations, including installation, survey activities, and dynamic positioning of subsea equipment such as ROVs, AUVs, and other mobile targets.

The system delivers high-accuracy positioning for deepwater applications and reliable tracking of subsea equipment, ensuring confidence in operations and data integrity.

Gravity Core

Our gravity corers utilize kinetic energy and high-grade carbon steel barrels to penetrate the seabed. Capable of retrieving continuous sediment cores up to 3 meters in length from both coastal and deep-water environments., this system ensures minimal disturbance to the stratigraphy, providing accurate data for sub-surface analysis.

Marine Magnetometer

High-performance magnetometer designed for a variety of geophysical surveys such as detecting shipwrecks, submarine pipelines, ferrous objects, ancient wellhead platform, and subsurface anomalies. Utilizing technology, high sensitivity with an accuracy of 0.1nT and 0.01nTrepeatability. This equipment is ideal for shallow water surveys, deep-water surveys, and wide-area magnetic mapping.
